King James Version

The
Book of 2 Samuel

Chapter
5

Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that
leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt
feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

And the king and his men went to
Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto
David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not
come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the
gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of
David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and
the lame shall not come into the house.

And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the
Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto
David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

And David came to
Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth
upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the
name of that place Baalperazim.

And let it be, when thou hearest
the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt
bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host
of the Philistines.
